Crime Doesn't Pay

Crime in Kingdoms of Amalur -- once you commit a crime, a majority of quest givers will start attacking you if you resist arrest. You may pay a fine (bribe) which increases as you commit more crimes, but can be decreased with the Persuasion skill.

You may want to save a game and keep committing petty crimes and letting yourself get caught (This way you will also work toward A Life of Crime). Once you've unlocked the achievement or trophy, you can reload your game from your non-criminal days and continue with your adventure.

As a matter of policy, you will want to Save the game manually before committing a crime, so you can reload on your discovered failures, and save over your undiscovered successes.
